SOUTH PASADENA >> The Pasadena Humane Society is searching for the owners of 4-month-old beagle that survived after being struck by a car in South Pasadena over the weekend.

The puppy suffered a “severe fracture” in its hind leg, said Jamie Holeman, a spokeswoman for the Humane Society. The dog will require surgery to walk normally again, she said.

The puppy was brought to the Humane Society by a passerby who witnessed the dog getting hit by a car at the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Huntington Drive late on Saturday.

The witness told the Humane Society that the dog rolled underneath the car and landed on the sidewalk. That person, who did not want to be identified, scooped up the injured dog and brought it to Humane Society workers, who were waiting after the location had closed to treat it.

The passerby also did not provide any information on the car.

The dog received and x-ray that revealed the fractured leg, but the spokeswoman, said she’s in “good spirits.”

The Humane Society workers named the dog “Miracle.” They’re hoping its owners will come forward, but will also put the dog up for adoption if no one steps forward with proof of ownership.

Anyone wishing to adopt the puppy can email adoptions@humanesociety.org with the reference number A410205.
